Help Us Track the Impact of Healthcare Cuts: Add Closed or Closing Medical Facilities to Our Tracker
The U.S. healthcare system is facing unprecedented challenges, with hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities shutting down at an alarming rate. These closures leave communities without vital care, forcing patients to travel farther for emergency services, routine check-ups, and specialized treatments. Have you noticed a local hospital, clinic, or medical center closing near you? Help us document the real-world consequences of healthcare policy changes by adding closed or at-risk facilities to our interactive tracker.
Why Track Medical Facility Closures?
When a hospital or clinic closes, the effects ripple through entire communities:
-
Patients lose access to critical care, especially in rural and underserved areas.
-
Workers face layoffs, worsening local economies.
-
Emergency response times increase, putting lives at risk.
-
Vulnerable populations (low-income families, seniors, and chronically ill patients) suffer the most.
By mapping these closures, we can:
Expose the true impact of healthcare funding cuts and policy decisions.
Hold policymakers accountable by showing which communities are hardest hit.
Mobilize advocacy efforts to protect at-risk facilities before they shut down.
How You Can Help
Our crowdsourced tracker relies on public input to stay updated. If you know of a medical facility that has closed or is at risk of closing:
-
Submit the details (name, location, type of facility, and closure date).
-
Spread the word so others can contribute.
Every submission strengthens our ability to demand better healthcare policies and fight for accessible medical care for all. Add a closed or closing facility to our tracker today and help us reveal the human cost of these shutdowns.
Together, we can turn data into action—because no community should lose its lifeline to healthcare.
While this tracker documents facility closures, the crisis goes deeper. Have you or someone you know lost insurance coverage, been denied care, or struggled to find providers?
